A little bit of Sarcassem

Florida is running a ridiculously bad-faith ad against marijuana legalization for recreational use. The ad states absolute lies such as (and I’m paraphrasing):

This is not the marijuana of the 60’s and 70’s. This marijuana is genetically engineered and enhanced to get your kids hooked, turn them into mindless zombies and psychotics, and you should help us ensure this gateway drug that makes kids more depressed and anxious never sees the light of day here in Florida.

I shouldn’t be surprised given the level of deception they’ve sunk to with regards to women’s reproductive rights.

Glad the FTC is taking action on this. Having to call or chat with an agent to cancel a membership is the worst.

Emma Roth writes:

“Under the rule, businesses can’t force customers to cancel a subscription using a method different from how they signed up.”

and:

“Most of the provisions in the ‘click-to-cancel’ rule will go into effect 180 days after it’s published in the Federal Register.”

This had me rolling!

Set up a new page called “Matt Recommends” on my site. I’m hoping to add to it regularly.

Made it throughgh the storm safely!

📢 Update as of 6:30 PM EST 📢

We are doing fine with wind gusts at 30 mph & rain. No major issues yet, & we have power.

The storm has slowed significantly in power in the past 1.5 hours. It’s a Category 3 with sustained winds of 120 mph. It will head directly over Sarasota as a Cat 1.

The Apple Journal app has a weird obsession with wanting me to write about the times and locations when I go out to eat. 🤣 It comes up with titles like, “Afternoon Outing to Panda Express.” I’m not sure if I should be worried or offended. lol

We’ve got TS (soon to be Hurricane) Helene barreling down on its way towards Florida. This should be fun. 🫠

We’ve been watching Below Deck: Med as usual, and Aesha has grown into such a leader! Love watching her navigate this role as she grows.

I put together this playlist because the more we talk about mental health, and the more we share its impacts, the better. With these songs, artists have helped tell these storiess, but most importantly, they make it clear we aren’t alone.

And yes, it’s in Apple Music. Sorry, not sorry. ;)

Apparently it’s a universal truth that in a webinar people spew comments and questions without putting an ounce of thought into it.

There is a fantastic fundraiser going on in hosted by @Robb and Adam (from omg.lol) supporting St Jude with a Month of Awesomeness!

Check it out here!

Just watched the finale of “The Good Doctor,” and this is how shows should end. It was heart-felt, it was solid, and it did the characters justice.

A few shots from yesterday’s Disney adventure.

It’s self-care Sunday apparently. Gym session focused on mobility and flexibility. Then the CryoLounge, the massage chair, and finally the Normatec compression legs.

Who wrote this season of “9-1-1?” Was this take your child to work week, and they let them do more than watch?

Y’all! The Publix chicken tender sub is the bomb!! I don’t know why I haven’t had it before!!

In today’s episode of Matt Does Stuff, he tries his hand at pumice powder hand soap making. What calamity shall ensue?

The Positivity playlist on Apple Music is excellent! Enjoying it while on lunch.

It’s a #Flowers kind of day! Epcot has had tons of flowers, and they’re all gorgeously arranged!

And another one!

Now that I’ve discovered crosshare.org, I’ve made a puzzle of my own. It’s fashion themed, so if that’s your thing, you know, puzzles and fashion, have at it!

I have ideas. I didn’t say they were good ones.

You want to target an actual monopoly? Let’s try the Republican/Democrat two-party system.

We continuously see reinforced examples of legislators and law enforcement clearly misunderstanding technology. It’s scary.
